Ed the Poet

James Tworow

Ed lives in the same rooming house row as Sarah, I met the two of them 20 months ago, only briefly.

For Lilac Festival the lawns of the three rooming houses were active with people enjoying the day, both residents of the houses plus their friends.

He waxed poetic about a photo taken that day (20 months ago), actually a combination of photos from both myself and Dave (djking), and welcomed me with open arms, even though it had been over a year since I last talked to him.

After hanging out there for awhile on the lawn, I just popped into his little apartment to say goodbye and he was finishing this poem and wanted to read it to me. Then he also handed a self-published CD of him reading some of his poems, he told me that often writes poetry. It seems to be a real inspiration to him.

This was a spontaneous photo, with little time to even think of "proper" photo composition, as it occured so quickly. I did a B&W edit of this, but somehow liked the colours here...
